At the UF Health Cancer Center our mission is to prevent, detect, treat, and ultimately cure cancer while addressing the unique challenges of the cancer burden faced by the population we serve. Whether working directly in clinical trials with our faculty researchers and patients or operating behind the desk in administration, each of our employees has a critical role to play in the success of our Center and the discoveries that are made here.
The Cancer Center serves as the nucleus for the diverse institutional programs of research, education, and clinical approaches that are necessary to improve cancer outcomes. With more than 250 researchers and clinicians at the University and UF Health conducting research for the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of cancer our collaborative research model encourages the transition of basic laboratory findings to novel curative and preventative therapies. This multidisciplinary membership is our strength, and our net is cast wide. Researchers are drawn from 69 departments and 11 colleges across the University and collaborate with dozens of other UF multidisciplinary centers and institutes—including the McKnight Brain Institute, Prot...on Therapy Institute (one of only seven such facilities in the nation), Genetics Institute, Clinical and Translational Science Institute, Institute on Aging, and the Emerging Pathogens Institute, among others.
